A 3D Finite Element model of a continuous rigid-frame bridge is constructed by the Midas/Civil bridge finite element analysis program in this paper, where fiber elements and plastic hinges are used for bridge piers. The lump mass method is used to simplify the infinite-degree-of-freedom continuous rigid-frame bridge into a multi-degree of freedom model. The energy solution of continuous rigid-frame bridge is given, and the time-history analysis of the bridge is applied. In addition, the energy response of continuous rigid-frame bridge with different pier height and reinforcement ratio are given based on the energy method, revealing the impact of pier height and reinforcement ratio on the displacement and energy response of continuous rigid-frame bridge.

A structure model of three-span continuous rigid frame bridge was constructed based on the finite element method. Firstly, the static performances were obtained. Secondly, the modal analysis was performed to get the natural frequencies and periods. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge structure were summarized, and some improvement guidelines are suggested to overcome the shortcoming for the bridge structure. Then, seismic response analysis was carried out based on the EL-Centro wave. The input excitations adopted the combination of vertical wave plus longitudinal wave, or vertical wave plus lateral wave, or the combination of three directions. Based on the three excitation cases, some useful results were obtained, which include internal forces, displacements, accelerations time-history curves of the critical sections for the bridge structure. And some comments about the time-history curves are given. At last, some helpful conclusions are drawn based on the calculation and analysis above. The calculation methods and results in this paper can provide some referenced information for the engineering design.

To research the effect of earthquakes of different magnitudes on continuous rigid frame bridge under cantilever construction method, combined with the newly promulgated seismic design rules of highway bridges in China, finite element model has been built by Midas software by using the response spectrum method and dynamic time history analysis method to analyze cantilever construction method of the various stages of seismic response analysis. The results indicate that the bending moments of root segments of cantilever beams and the bottom sections of piers change greatly. So it should be attached importance to in design.

The fluctuating wind field is simulated for digital by using the stationary Gauss processes, which Kaimal spectrum and Panofsky spectrum is used to the simulation of wind target spectrum with different direction and speed. According to Davenport quasi-steady buffeting force model formula, the time-history of wind velocity is converted to Buffeting force time history, which are applied to the Structure model node, combined with ANSYS for long-span continuous rigid frame bridge buffeting response analysis dynamic simulation.Taking a high pier and long span continuous rigid frame bridge as an example, analyzes dynamic buffeting response of the bridge under the action of the stochastic wind field, which as the guidance of high pier and long span continuous rigid frame bridge design work, practice has proved that the method is simple, reliable, also can be a way that dynamic analysis of buffeting response of large span bridge or tower structure under the action of stochastic wind field.
